I regularly read The Wall Street Journal, including its "Opinion" pages. I very frequently disagree with the opinions I find there. I don't always disagree, but often I do.
On Monday, November 10, 2025, The Journal had some advice for our current president. In an opinion piece titled, "Trump’s Tariff Rebate Contradictions," the newspaper presented a number of recommendations. I generally agreed with what The Journal said, and I am highlighting, below, a statement from that opinion piece with which I completely agree:
We’ve advised Mr. Trump from the beginning that tariffs would do economic harm, and so they are. They’re also doing political damage to the GOP, which is why he’s floating rebates that contradict his other tariff claims. One other suggestion, Mr. President: It’s never a good idea to call the voters “fools.”
Just to make clear why calling the voters "fools" isn't a good idea for any elected official, even including our current president, we (the voters) are actually in charge. We're the "boss."
Good advice for everyone. Don't call your boss a "fool."

What a good thing to read first thing this a.m. - even the WSJ is pushing back. You're a brave man to read that paper. My feelings about Wall Street parallel what I feel more outrageously about DT. They all take up 'way too much space@
